Adam’s Kitchen series: Simple biscuits

Simple Biscuits Recipe

Today, Adam woke up asking to eat biscuits. He likes to dip the biscuits in tea or milk. But there was none at home. He was very disappointed. So, I thought let’s make biscuits then! This is a quick and simple recipe, and you probably have all ingredients at home. Get the kids involved and have fun in the kitchen! :)
​
Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup margarine
• ¾ cup cold milk

Method

1. Preheat the oven at 230 °C.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Mix it well. Add the butter and mix with your hands, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Pour milk into the flour mixture while stirring with a fork. Mix in milk until the dough is soft, moist and pulls away from the side of the bowl.
4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead dough briefly, 5 to 7 times.
5. Roll dough out into a 1/2 inch thick sheet and cut out biscuits with a floured cookie cutter. Press together unused dough and repeat rolling and cutting procedure.
6. Place biscuits on ungreased baking sheets and bake in a preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
